Kelly Ripa isn’t afraid to question a restaurant’s prices — especially in the Hamptons.
During the Friday, May15, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, the longtime talk show star and her husband-turned-co-host, Mark Consuelos, were reacting to a list of social etiquette “rules” when the Riverdale actor read off one his wife firmly disagreed with.
“You can ask how much something costs but don’t ask why something costs how much it does,” Consuelos recited, as Ripa sat with her arms crossed, clearly having a differing opinion.
“No, I’ve done that,” Ripa bluntly admitted.
“I did that at a restaurant —” she continued, though Consuelos knew immediately where her story was headed, adding, “In the Hamptons?”
“In the Hamptons,” Ripa confirmed before recalling the bold dining moment.
“When somebody ordered a bottle of rosé and I happened to know how much the bottle of rosé cost, I was like, I just wanted them to know,” she explained, earning applause from Live‘s studio audience. “I was like, ‘I feel like you need to know that you are jacking this up 2,000 percent.
Ripa continued, “‘This is an $8 bottle of rosé. You know it and I know it and yet here we are.'”
After concluding her candid confession, the Hope & Faith actress was met with even further cheers from the crowd as Consuelos cracked up beside her.
